Cultivation: Starting with a Dual Cultivation Technique at the Immortal Rank

59: Chapter 59 Bowing Down to Save My Beloved FairyIn the afternoon, within the Guest Reception Pavilion, spiritual mist swirled about.

When the maid led today’s guest gracefully into the pavilion, even Li Yifei, whose state of mind had long been honed to be as calm as a still well by countless beauties, could not help but have his breath catch for a moment.

The newcomer was none other than the Core Disciple, Yue Chaner.

She wore a moon-white dress with wide sleeves, the hem embroidered with patterns of a bright moon and flowing clouds in silver thread. With her light, lotus-like steps, she seemed to arrive walking upon the moonlight.

Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, not as fiery and eye-catching as Han Feifei’s, but possessing a refined grace and gentleness reminiscent of the water towns in the south.

And her face truly interpreted the meaning of ”a face like a flower and a moon, a beauty that makes the moon hide and flowers blush.” It was a standard classical oval face, her skin as warm and smooth as jade, as if condensed from moonlight.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like the ripples of autumn water, her nose small and straight, and her cherry lips red without needing any adornment.

Simply by standing there quietly, she looked like a portrait of a lady that would be passed down through the ages, making everything around her pale in comparison.

Her temperament was tranquil and gentle, with a faint scholarly air, yet hidden between her brows was a lingering trace of light sorrow, like a white lotus stained with clear dew on a moonlit night—pure, elegant, and pitiable.

”Core Disciple Yue Chaner greets Senior Brother Li.”

”Junior Sister Yue, please, have a seat.” With a warm and sincere smile on his face, Li Yifei personally rose to lead her to her seat and poured her a cup of clear tea overflowing with Spiritual Qi. The entire process was filled with respect for the guest, without a hint of pressure.

Yue Chaner was somewhat surprised. Rumors of Li Yifei described him as generous but also overbearing and powerful; however, the man before her was more like a gentle and jade-like Elder brother from next door, making one unconsciously lower their guard.

She picked up the teacup and took a light sip with an elegant posture, temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

Li Yifei did not rush into the main topic as he did with others. Instead, as if chatting with a friend, he spoke softly: ”I have long heard of your reputation, Junior Sister. I heard that you are not only an Earthly Spiritual Root Genius but also a favored Disciple of Elder Yun Hua. With an Elder’s care, your path to the Dao should be smooth. Why would you...”

He did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear. With Yue Chaner’s status and talent, even if obtaining a High Grade foundation establishment pill was somewhat difficult and time-consuming, it was by no means impossible. The fact that she actually came to Yifei Peak spoke volumes.

At the mention of her Revered Master and aunt, a flash of gloom and pain appeared in Yue Chaner’s beautiful eyes, and her jade-like fingers tightened slightly around the teacup.

”Senior Brother Li overpraises me,” she responded in a low voice, her tone tinged with bitterness. ”My Revered Master... indeed treats me very well. It’s just...”

She hesitated, appearing to have some hidden trouble that was difficult to speak of.

Li Yifei understood. In Murong Xue’s intelligence, Yue Chaner’s situation was heavily highlighted.

He chose not to press her but instead switched to a more compassionate approach, sighing as he said: ”I have also heard some rumors regarding Elder Yun Hua. It is said that when the Elder was performing a Sect mission several years ago, she was unfortunately injured, and her wounds have yet to heal. The Elder’s devotion to the public good is admirable, but this injury... alas.”

These words were like a key, precisely opening the softest and most vulnerable part of Yue Chaner’s heart.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and a layer of mist covered her beautiful autumn water eyes.

She had not expected that Li Yifei, instead of questioning her purpose for coming, would first show concern for her aunt’s injury.

This sudden warmth caused her long-tense heartstrings to abruptly loosen.

”To be honest, Senior Brother...” her voice carried a hint of a sob, ”Aunt’s injury is much heavier than the rumors suggest. She has damaged her Dao Base. If not for her profound cultivation, her Realm would have likely dropped long ago. Over these years, we have sought out famous doctors and exhausted our savings, yet we can only barely maintain the injury so it doesn’t worsen.”

”A Great Master of the Dao of Alchemy asserted that unless we can obtain a Grade 2 High Grade perfect quality healing Medicinal Pill, there is no further possibility for her Dao Base injury to heal.”

At this point, she could no longer hold back, and a crystal tear slid down her jade-like cheek.

”Because of this, we no longer have any strength left to compete for those elusive High Grade foundation establishment pill quotas. And my cultivation is stuck at Qi Refining Perfection, finding it difficult to advance further...”

The reason she came was precisely because she had heard the most outrageous rumor—that Li Yifei of Yifei Peak could not only help people with Foundation Establishment, but his Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique even had the miraculous effect of ”bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bone.” She held a one-in-ten-thousand hope, wanting to seek an Opportunity that could heal her aunt. As for her own path to the Dao, it had become secondary.

Seeing the beauty before him weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, Li Yifei felt a surge of pity in his heart. He handed her a silk handkerchief and spoke with an even gentler voice: ”Junior Sister, there is no need to be sad. For your Revered Master’s injury, perhaps... I may have a way.”

Yue Chaner suddenly looked up, staring at him through tearful eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief.

With a flick of his wrist, a jade bottle emitting a rich aura of life and a strange pill fragrance appeared in Li Yifei’s palm. Without keeping her in suspense, he pushed the jade bottle directly in front of Yue Chaner.

”This is a Grade 2 Low Grade perfect quality pill—the ’Life-Sustaining Creation Pill’. Although it cannot directly repair the Dao Base, it can solidify the foundation and nurture the essence, using its perfect medicinal properties to nourish the damaged Meridians and Dantian, buying more time for your Revered Master, and even... giving her the strength to repair part of the Dao Base damage herself.”

Grade 2! perfect quality! A healing Medicinal Pill!

This was exactly the divine object she and her aunt had dreamed of but had no way of obtaining!

Yue Chaner stood up excitedly, her hands trembling as she took the jade bottle and uncorked it. That extremely pure aura of life rushed toward her, making the spiritual power throughout her body dance with joy.

She was almost certain that this Medicinal Pill would definitely bring a decisive turning point for her aunt’s injury!

”Senior Brother Li... this... this is too precious!” Yue Chaner’s voice trembled with excitement; she knew what this Medicinal Pill represented.

Li Yifei smiled and shook his head, then took out another jade bottle, inside of which lay a Top Grade foundation establishment pill with profound pill patterns.

”As for your path to the Dao, Junior Sister, I naturally won’t let you fall behind.”

He pushed this foundation establishment pill over as well, his gaze gentle and sincere.

”As long as you are willing to become my Dao Companion and compose the immortal path together with me, this ’Life-Sustaining Creation Pill’ and this Top Grade foundation establishment pill are both yours now. From now on, both you and Elder Yun Hua will be protected by my Yifei Peak.”

At this moment, Li Yifei’s words were like the warmest sunlight, instantly dispersing all the gloom in Yue Chaner’s heart.

She looked at the two jade bottles before her, then at Li Yifei’s eyes filled with warmth and responsibility. All her reserve, hesitation, and unease vanished at this moment.

What she received was far more than she had imagined!

”Husband!”

She stood up and gave Li Yifei a deep bow. This time, there was no awkwardness or shyness, and her voice was filled with unprecedented joy, gratitude, and a sense of belonging.

”Chaner... is willing to be your Dao Companion, unchanging for this lifetime!”
